A primary benefit of exercising with a Bodytrends exercise ball as opposed to exercising directly on a hard flat surface is that the body responds to the instability of the ball to remain balanced, engaging many more muscles to do so. Those muscles become stronger over time to keep balance. Most frequently, the core body muscles - the abdominal muscles and back muscles - are the focus of exercise ball fitness programs. Using a Bodytrends exercise ball as part of a fitness program can include a wide range of difficulty levels, each requiring support from the back and stomach muscles that help firm up the trunk muscles in the body. Exercise balls are commonly used as part of a physical therapy program for individuals with low back pain. Whether you are new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, this ball will enhance your workout giving you results. Ideal for stretching, strengthening and toning exercises. First used by physical therapists over 30 years ago, exercise balls are now used in leading health clubs around the nation and are quickly becoming a standard item for any home gym.Product Features:65cm Anti Burst Exercise BallGreat as an office chairBurst resistant heavy guage PVC vinyl for durabilityBall can be used at home, in the gym, or clinicIncrease stability and flexibility
